Boards › 🎬 Storyboards › Screen Demo

The screen demo storyboard.

For SaaS, templates, digital tools — anything that lives on a screen. Three ways to make software look like magic — fill in {your tool}, copy the shots.

One scene ≈ 3 seconds. 15s = 5 shots · 30s = each beat splits into 2 shots. Every prompt has a {fill-in} slot — replace it with your own thing.

Pick by video type:
